Harbor's Vintage at the WE Peace Day Fashion Festival 2025
The WE Peace Day Fashion Festival is more than just a celebration, it’s a moment for our community to come together, showcase local talent, and highlight the power of creativity in fostering connection and understanding. Each year, youth performers, local designers, and community advocates join us to share their gifts, inspire confidence, and embrace the values of peace, collaboration, and self-expression. We are deeply grateful to our supporters, volunteers, and families who make this event possible. Your dedication ensures that every participant has the opportunity to shine, connect, and grow within a community that uplifts one another.
